Essential Buying Considerations

Size and Capacity

  • Measure your counter space carefully—griddles range from 400mm to 1200mm wide.
  • Consider your busiest service period—allow 300mm width per 15-20 portions per hour.
  • Check plate thickness—minimum 10mm ensures better heat retention and distribution.

Power Source and Specifications

  • Gas models offer faster heating but need proper ventilation systems.
  • Electric versions provide more precise temperature control—pair with combi ovens.
  • Chrome surfaces cost more initially but offer better heat efficiency and easier cleaning.

How Commercial Griddles Work

Commercial griddles operate on a brilliantly simple principle—a flat metal cooking surface (typically steel or chrome) heated evenly from below by powerful gas burners or electric elements. This creates a consistent cooking plane that reaches temperatures between 50-300°C, controlled via precision thermostats in electric models or gas valves in gas versions. Most feature a slightly sloped surface directing oils and fats toward a front grease trough for cleaner cooking and easier maintenance. The large flat surface allows for direct heat transfer to your food, creating that perfect sear on burgers or golden finish on pancakes while accommodating multiple portions simultaneously—perfect for pumping out breakfast orders or keeping up with the dinner rush!

Safety Guidelines

  • Check Surfaces Inspect for cracks or damage—prevents food contamination.
  • Secure Positioning Ensure level installation—prevents oil runoff accidents.
  • Avoid Overcrowding Leave space between items—reduces grease splatter.
  • Use Proper Tools Heat-resistant spatulas and tongs—prevents burns.
  • Safe Shutdown Turn off after service—prevents accidental burns.
  • Check Connections Regular gas/electric inspection—ensures safe operation.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Griddles

To get the most from your commercial griddle, always preheat for 15-20 minutes before the first service to ensure even cooking temperatures across the plate. Season steel surfaces regularly with oil to maintain a natural non-stick quality, and clean while still warm (not hot) using a scraper and griddle stone. For chrome plates, avoid metal utensils that can scratch the surface. Keep the grease trough clear during service to prevent overflow, and remember that different foods require different cooking zones—use the cooler edges for holding finished items.
